Panchang for other cities in the USA

How this panchang is calculated

Every value on this page is calculated for the city's own latitude and longitude, then shown in its local time. That matters abroad: Rahu Kaal and choghadiya are slices of the local day from sunrise to sunset, so a panchang printed for Delhi or Hyderabad is wrong by hours in Dallas, London or Sydney.

The tithi, nakshatra and yoga change at the same instant everywhere in the world, so the clock time differs by time zone. Because the panchang day starts at local sunrise, a festival can fall on a different date abroad than in India.

Sun and Moon positions come from a standard astronomical model, using the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa followed by most Indian panchangs. Sunrise is the moment the top of the Sun appears, allowing for atmospheric refraction. Expect a minute or two of difference from other panchangs; for a wedding or griha pravesh muhurat, confirm with your family priest.

Questions

What is Rahu Kaal today in Detroit?

On Friday, June 19, 2026, Rahu Kaal in Detroit is from 11:39 AM to 1:33 PM EDT. Rahu Kaal is one eighth of the time between sunrise and sunset, and which eighth depends on the weekday, so it moves every day and is different in every city.

Why is the Detroit panchang different from the one in India?

Rahu Kaal, choghadiya and muhurats are worked out from local sunrise and sunset, so they have to be calculated for Detroit. The tithi and nakshatra change at the same moment worldwide, but that moment is a different clock time here, and because the panchang day starts at local sunrise, a tithi or festival can fall on a different date than in India.

Which choghadiya is good?

Amrit, Shubh and Labh are considered good for starting work, ceremonies and business. Char is considered good for travel. Udveg, Rog and Kaal are times most families avoid for anything new.

What is the difference between amanta and purnimanta months?

In the amanta system, followed in South and West India, a month ends on the new moon (Amavasya). In the purnimanta system, followed in most of North India, it ends on the full moon (Purnima). The tithi is the same in both; only the month name in the waning half differs, which is why both are shown.

How accurate are these timings?

They are calculated for this city's coordinates from a standard astronomical model with the Lahiri ayanamsa, and usually agree with other panchangs to within a minute or two. For a wedding, griha pravesh or other important muhurat, please confirm with your family priest.
